I have been using the nfo to add actor photos when entering the metadata, and there is always a glitch somewhere in the progress wrong url jsut something. When this happens the actor is entered into the database with no image. To reset that image the only way I have found to erase Plex media server and start over. As long as the actor name is already in the database I can not get it to refresh. Does anyone know how to delete the the actor metadata files and regenerate them?

I thought actor photos were not even supported yet?

They are in certain skins (Woody for example under starring actors) and klexi. I load mine through through nfo metadata agent not sure if freebase loads them or not.
